[justanotherquestion]

just received a usaa mailer for the military family association visa, i am not with usaa however there is a reference number on the application and forms. is it worth applying for ?

So you are not a member of USAA and received a mailer for one of their credit cards? Interesting. I thought one had to be a member to have access to credit cards.

I suspect you have a family member associated with them or you are in the military, otherwise, you can not get in.  They are generally good for full members.

They were open to most everyone around 2012, when I got in, but only as a partial member. (thx to my readings from MYFico)  I currently have 3 credit cards with them and a checking -- can't get much else.  Good Luck!!

My Dad was in WWII, but since he was never a member of USAA, they told me NO to full membership~!

Looks like they SP you and you met their credit criteria.  Like when banks get lists of people to send offers to based on info in credit reports.  who knows

[justanotherquestion]

i find it really odd since i know i do not qualify for membership

What product is it for specifically if you don't mind me asking , this is very odd I'm a full member for the last 10 years or so
